AI Seat
Cap Ledger

a per-team AI coding budget report that turns invoices and usage exports into per-person caps, owner alerts, and a plain-English "who is overspending" page, backed by Uber's $1,500/month cap, 466 comments, and Indie Hackers' EvoLink billing complaint. → See full breakdown in the Action section below.

What today means for you — depends on who you are.

This year your sales page answers not "how smart" — but "can the system prove what happened".

Buyers have lost patience with default promises. If your hero still leads with "AI-powered", competitors are already writing "we can show you receipts".

This week is for selling "narrow receipts" — ID safety, contest integrity, generated-content policy, CSS migration, agent permissions.

Package invisible risk into visible reports: AI spend caps, email AI off-switches, extension token checks, and workplace tracking policy reviews.

Today's interesting story isn't whether AI is impressive — it's whether everyday software can still prove what happened.

The next AI backlash is practical: bills, inboxes, workplace monitoring, and the permissions hidden inside developer tools.
